The Morning Star, The Nightcomer — Rashad Khalifa Translation – Parallel Quran

1 The Comer by Night

وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ

By the sky and Al-Taareq

Waalssama-i waalttariqi

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ

Do you know what Al-Taareq is

Wama adraka ma alttariqu

النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ

The bright star

Alnnajmu alththaqibu

إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ

Absolutely, everyone is well guarded

In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun

فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ

Let the human reflect on his creation

Falyanthuri al-insanu mimma khuliqa

خُلِقَ مِن مَّاءٍ دَافِقٍ

He was created from ejected liquid

Khuliqa min ma-in dafiqin

يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ

From between the spine and the viscera

Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttara-ibi

إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ

He is certainly able to resurrect him

Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun

يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ

The day all secrets become known

Yawma tubla alssara-iru

فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ

He will have no power, nor a helper

Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin

وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ

By the sky that returns (the water)

Waalssama-i thati alrrajAAi

وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ

By the earth that cracks (to grow plants)

Waal-ardi thati alssadAAi

إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ

This is a serious narration

Innahu laqawlun faslun

وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ

Not to be taken lightly

Wama huwa bialhazli

إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا

They plot and scheme

Innahum yakeedoona kaydan

وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا

Waakeedu kaydan

فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا

Just respite the disbelievers a short respite

Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
